Although being a petrol head for years ,enjoying many “spirited” drives and meets and fully appreciating your videos and dedication to the car scene I have To say this meet is an absolute shambles, how can anyone not expect this meet to be shut down, idiotic punters almost standing in the road, rolling burnouts as local Tracey and the kids are driving by. This video is as good as you popping down to your local Sainsburys car park on a Saturday night and filming the local kids in corsas. Stick to the “proper” meets 👌🏻
Literally! I drove past here while it was on (not knowing) and nearly got taken out a few times by dodgy undertaking/racing in peak traffic lol. Half the people don't have common sense.
I mean at this point they've gotta know better, I remember this being so much more quiet 4/5 years ago, then so many people piled on doing dumber stuff than usual
Sadly seeing people get hurt or even killed by wreckless driving alongside those with loud pops and bangs maps revving late night doesn't help the good car community. In my area the locals are complaining with the noise near a car meet hotspot.
@@zaink7037 Like I'm all for a good few sends, I've seen my fair share of sends that have blown me away, but at this level it gets dangerous with the amount of people that show up
@@UniqueCurse2002 yeah defo we all like to send it but best place to do it is on a clear, wide open road. As you mentioned though the risk there with Peds who might run out or even distract you when driving. I sadly see it in my hospital work sometimes with young guys crashing their cars. Had one who rolled his new smart car over which he stated he swerved to not hit a pedestrian and clipped the kurb at "low" speed and roles over.
@@zaink7037 A good example is Brands Hatch, roads there aren't as crowded and it's pretty open, in terms of the Peds it's probably the worst at Reading, the amount of people gathering on the centre barrier is absurd, that and getting your arse out isnt exactly funny haha
I'd say the other issue with it, is visible at the end. Look at all that rubbish strewn around the pavement Like, come on guys, have a good time but have some respect for the poor sods who're going to have to clean all that up. When I lived in the US you'd get small car meets (usually highschoolers) with their err.... "modified vehicles" (Usually a 1980s pickup with some sort of V8 in it) in the Walmart car park. Not really messing about, just hanging round and doing a few revs or a few laps along the highway between turning points.
Adam you come across as a respectful young man. But let’s face it a lot of silly behaviour with these numbers will always attract the police and so it should.
I normally watch "most" of your stuff and hats off for the style you so charmingly portray.....but , with a knowledge of that area, I worked for quite a while out of Reading, this is Group B spectator idiocy and how did that end..... Please respond if/as/or required. Respect .
Why would they need to build anything when they can just go and buy a factory performance spec machine , get somebody else to chip it and then hoon around in it like a massive turd. It makes you weep!
@@robm6750 and the best part of it is that they're all financed by their parents or people who just want to show off their skill of going fast in a straight line for 5 seconds of glory...the car scene should be about automotive passion and the art of building unique things while enjoying it...far away from what these people actually make out of it
It’s just as silly now as it was in the mid noughties. We used to park our cars on the off ramp of the A13. Line the dual carriageway at Lakeside shopping centre. There’s no pavement at all there. Police used to shut it down, we’d just come back in half hour and carry on.
@@ChrisBeevor0511 Yes, but you are only swapping the Max Power brigade for The Fast and Furious set. Both were/are populated by baseball cap wearing bell ends who have evolved from sticking 25 tones of P38 onto their cars to mould into some sort of dragon effect bonnet to wrapping a turd, chipping it and drifting them around industrial estates.

im all for car meets and seeing nice cars etc. but when you start making roads your own private race track that is just a no no and a reason why i dont go to car meets anymore, always a bunch of knobs at them
That much police attendance was always inevitable - I'm all for a bit of petrol fuelled fun, but on public roads in the middle of a city is stone cold idiocy.

You mean shut down again? Lol great video anyway, you always give a great insight as to what happens at these meets, even if it does get a bit dangerous!
Such a lack of respect for the police everywhere now. They shut it down with good reason, people acting like muppets. At least it wasn't because someone shared a meme
True. I love Adams videos, but the behaviour of these muppets is getting out of hand and it's only a matter of time until something serious goes wrong. All the drivers need to do is dial it back a little and there wouldn't be a problem.
@@mx3fto long as nobody hates on Adam for it he merely documents the event and doesn't incite the stuff but I'm sure some people look at this and think he wants it to all happen
@@Kieran_OPC I don't think they were concerned about him being hated on. None of those drivers flooring it off the roundabout side by side towards obvious pedestrian activity would need to hate anything about Adam to lose control and wipe him out if one of the others they're following too close for the speed braked suddenly to avoid someone else stepping out into a live lane, or fell in front of them after trying to climb over the barrier in the middle as their group of cars approached.
As always, Adam I am watching your channel on a weekly basis because I love the content you have for the weekend classic/supercar type events (as they are properly organised and strictly static). But I agree with the majority of comments, these weekday, evening meets are getting very DANGERIOUS because of certain individuals! It's better off being held on a weekend, during the day, in a private venue (a field perhaps?) and strictly static. Until such a time comes and is decided to be the way, the meets should be stopped to avoid people getting seriously hurt! But we all know it's just going to move to another Location such as Bracknell, Camberley (Where a Section 5x was imposed not so long ago) or Basingstoke.
These cars shows will eventually eat themselves. The powers that be are just waiting for the inevitable accident to justify putting an end to this. A car show used to be parking outside costs and talking about wheels, but these 'exit' videos are looking out of control.
I feel like this was inevitable, the question being if this acts as a reset and things calm down, or if the fuss creates more hype and it grows. "part worn tyres for sale" gave me a good laugh
What could of been a good meet has been spoilt by idiots being dangerous. I'm up for people having fun but when it puts lives at danger it stops being fun and it just disrupts the locals and wastes police time....and this will probably shut this meet down and spoils it for others who appreciate seeing these amazing cars. Being safe doesn't mean that you can't have fun. ✌
@@dj_paultuk7052 Probably has PSPO in place now meaning if you're on the land and told to disperse and you don't, you and your car will end up at the police station. With a fine and a Section 59 notice.
I hate to say it but with the sheer quantity of people everywhere randomly walking across the road and some often less than skilled drivers showing off it's only a matter of time before there's a big accident and someone gets killed. It's a shame really as there as always seems a decent turnout at this location.
It's a real shame that genuine people are having their meets hijacked by fools - the police had no option there - the mix of cars, bikes and spectators hooning around was incredibly likely to end in disaster (It's impressive you only witnessed a broken mudguard tbh)
Doing 70 mph on the clear side when there's no other traffic isn't as bad as doing 30-40 mph 2 cars wide through the pedestrian littered side. Far higher risks of hitting someone there even at significantly lower speeds. The biggest idiots (besides those who couldn't keep their trousers up) are all those driving in their lane inches away from the walls of pedestrians, meet attendees/showoffs and passers by alike. When the risks are as high as that, cars should all be single file balancing the risk between the numbers of pedestrians on each side of the road, and slow enough to stop if an idiot pedestrian steps out, or falls out, into the road right as they're passing. You wouldn't do more than 5 mph through a pedestrian zone packed with people, even if it was private property and therefore legal to do 100+ mph there. 70+ mph on the open side is the least dangerous thing to happen here.
@@stevemarshall3481 The reason it's 40 is because some politicians or people they are in some way linked to the employment of said so. If I was in their position I would eliminate all speed limits and make what's currently defined as 'advanced' driving the minimum to hold a licence while improving public transport and traffic policing more the compensate for fewer people legally capable of driving themselves and more effectively clamp down on those who would persist to drive illegally without a licence as a result. As for the barrier comment. Looking at the road layout, at some point this road will likely have had a higher limit, could easily have been national at some point, or at least it was built to that level in design potentially with that intention, but had a lower limit stuck on it when the politicians got involved, therefore the barriers will have been built to 'motorway standards', which require a car to be deflected away from the other carriageway at speeds at and exceeding (as everything has built in factors of safety) 70 mph. Therefore the barriers will have been designed for that very purpose, to prevent an out of control car previously travelling at 70 mph from entering the other carriageway. The fact any car travelling fast is going to hit it at an angle, and that they're designed to bounce cars, etc back into the carriageway they're already in, and larger heavier vehicles than a car (at lower speeds, but considerably more force behind them), means even cars travelling at even greater speeds will not get close to actually breaking through. They'll deform it into lane 2 at worse, but the section of sort of 'footpath'/raised pavement area is likely enough to restrict how much they even manage that. I paused at 3:35 to look at the road better before commenting everything above. Green signs mean the main A road route, the advanced roundabout sign looks to be quite a way back from the roundabout and being in the central reservation suggests an expectation for faster flowing traffic than 40 mph. I tried to compare the roads to roads near me where I know the limits for them, but funnily enough, the 2 I checked against that are 70 mph don't have any barriers between carriageways. The one in a town has a section of raised pavement similar to that under the barriers here, but without the barriers (although it is a straight bit of road compared to the curve in the video), the other is a countryside dual carriageway with a thin strip of grass between the carriageways. There's a 50 mph zone that becomes a national, or the opposite if you're going the other way, that looks similar to this. I think 50 mph is the fastest limit they put around traffic lights now, as that seems to be when the limit changes. Anyway, where faster roads have barriers, this is very similar, although everything 40+ mph seems to be the same as the 40 zone I looked at also shares similar details, although I don't know the history of its speed limit in the past. As it leads to the 70 mph zone over a bridge in the town, split only by a roundabout, it could easily have been a 70 mph zone a few decades ago. The barriers seem to be more about keeping drifting traffic from entering the pedestrian crossing or something than anything else going by the fact so many national limit zones have nothing at all in central reservations as narrow as the one in the video. When I then tried to look into the barrier types alone, 2 types came up. The more recent design identified by the manufacturer 'Armco', vertically creased/rippled, is designed to deform more than this older C-section/box style, so this barrier is actually stronger than the 'Armco' style more common on motorways, and would therefore resist a car crashing through it more, so the layout I was trying to compare was pointless, the barrier's design is more resistant to things crashing through it than those used to stop vehicles bursting through them on 70 mph roads, so an out of control at 70 mph car won't make it through those barriers, even if they're only used on lower speed roads.
@@markwright3161 you still don't get it do you, science the fuck out of it as much as you like, it's 40 and pricks are doing 70+, it's the law, deal with it 🤷♂️
People who say this is ruining the car scene seem to be forgetting that this is nothing new - it's always the bellends showing off that get meets closed down. I remember when Spillers got fenced off up in Newcastle in the 00s and that was on a closed bit of land ... these people lining a dual carriageway isn't going to do anyone any favours and the writing has been on the wall for the last few videos to be honest lol
yeah, I fear someone will crash one of these days. that's a cool spot to hang out, but I wouldn't want to be between a car and a guardrail as someone loses control speeding by.
The central reservation is two crash barriers and a fence the fact they’re called crash barriers should give everyone a good reason not to go stand there like a bunch of skittles waiting to be knocked down that’s why the police shut the road down it really isn’t that hard to work out
Well you gonna have to be honest, last couple off vids at this location had loads off people here , apart from a few small fender benders , it was waiting for a big accident to happen sooner or later.
Best start having rolling meets convoy from town to town break off into smaller groups for stops before they shut down meets completly like they have in other places where meets turn a bit excessive 🤷 that way content can still be got when the convoys pass by and since it's rolling less likely to attract big crowds that get a bit lairy
Did people not learn from what happened in Stevenage? It’s only a matter of time until more accidents happen if people keep being so reckless, and standing at the central reservation
A few too many 0-30s I think at this one. Some burnouts and things are cool but going 0-30 as a group in a race is a bit no for a public road. Great vid though Lots of blue neons 😂😂
Accelerating like that where there is a massive group of pedestrians in the road is the biggest no. Driving through the group 2 wide is idiotic at anything close to even half the speed limit here (which another comment suggests is 40mph), regular passer-by traffic included (when they're posing a risk to other road users, the pedestrians). There are obviously some complete idiots in the crowd, I wouldn't want to be less than half a lane away from them mucking around without any concern for themselves or anyone else, that's at a fraction of the posted limit too. The police haven't helped the actual safety issues much at all here. In previous videos they've seemed to let 'regular traffic' that has clearly passed the group of pedestrians too close, inches away from them at times at a significant percentage of the speed limit, far too fast for those conditions, go and seemed to specifically target cars that accelerate on their own down the empty side where they're not posing a risk to anyone with a speed trap at the roundabout where no pedestrians ever stood, well, until they set up a speed trap, then a load of pedestrians took an interest.
Take a car, stick a fart can on it, ridiculous spoiler, wide wheels, furry dice & then put a bellend behind the wheel & bingo you’ve got yourself a ‘modified’ shitemobile.
I never stopped doing classic car content. I'm uploading classics regularly, but they get no views. It's very depressing as views are down by half in general, so there is zero motivation to film classics.
That's a big shame I figured as much, I guess your audience is modified and German cars which baffles me because you can see them any time you simply open your front door, hope your views increase on another note I'm also a youngun with a mgb gt
The problem is if people take it too far like this too often they will introduce a car cruising ban like they have in the Black country, So don’t ruin it for yourselves.
Not like he can control everyone no his fault go complain else where least he still shares great vids love the content keep it up please if get stuff done too mgb video the transformation happening
You know we aren't complaining against Adam right? There's always someone like you that doesn't get it. Adam isn't the problem here, the problem was the idiots sending it at large crowds. What do you expect the Police to do? Nothing to do with Adam and his content 🤦♂
German cars make Focus STs look rare. I generally find it's either people in Audis and Bimmers or those driving total s*it boxes which go drifting around gravel car parks or drive like Stevie Wonder on crack.
Junction 27 used to be poppingggg back in the day, the lil circuit from island to island my brothers Cavalier 4x4 used to do everyone round the islands!
Things i hate about the car scene Pop and bang maps that every ecoboost fiesta and 2.0tfsi engines vw group cars have. Old cars sound fine with it as it isnt fake on those. Dsg farts I just find car meets these days all the same tbh with the same lowered cars. Hopefully when my kadett is done and running a tasty dellorto 40 carb and 305 profile cam along with other bits that will give people something different to look at.

They'll deform it into lane 2 at worse, but the section of sort of 'footpath'/raised pavement area is likely enough to restrict how much they even manage that.
I paused at 3:35 to look at the road better before commenting everything above. Green signs mean the main A road route, the advanced roundabout sign looks to be quite a way back from the roundabout and being in the central reservation suggests an expectation for faster flowing traffic than 40 mph.
I tried to compare the roads to roads near me where I know the limits for them, but funnily enough, the 2 I checked against that are 70 mph don't have any barriers between carriageways. The one in a town has a section of raised pavement similar to that under the barriers here, but without the barriers (although it is a straight bit of road compared to the curve in the video), the other is a countryside dual carriageway with a thin strip of grass between the carriageways. There's a 50 mph zone that becomes a national, or the opposite if you're going the other way, that looks similar to this. I think 50 mph is the fastest limit they put around traffic lights now, as that seems to be when the limit changes. Anyway, where faster roads have barriers, this is very similar, although everything 40+ mph seems to be the same as the 40 zone I looked at also shares similar details, although I don't know the history of its speed limit in the past. As it leads to the 70 mph zone over a bridge in the town, split only by a roundabout, it could easily have been a 70 mph zone a few decades ago.
The barriers seem to be more about keeping drifting traffic from entering the pedestrian crossing or something than anything else going by the fact so many national limit zones have nothing at all in central reservations as narrow as the one in the video. When I then tried to look into the barrier types alone, 2 types came up. The more recent design identified by the manufacturer 'Armco', vertically creased/rippled, is designed to deform more than this older C-section/box style, so this barrier is actually stronger than the 'Armco' style more common on motorways, and would therefore resist a car crashing through it more, so the layout I was trying to compare was pointless, the barrier's design is more resistant to things crashing through it than those used to stop vehicles bursting through them on 70 mph roads, so an out of control at 70 mph car won't make it through those barriers, even if they're only used on lower speed roads.
@@markwright3161 you still don't get it do you, science the fuck out of it as much as you like, it's 40 and pricks are doing 70+, it's the law, deal with it 🤷♂️
People who say this is ruining the car scene seem to be forgetting that this is nothing new - it's always the bellends showing off that get meets closed down. I remember when Spillers got fenced off up in Newcastle in the 00s and that was on a closed bit of land ... these people lining a dual carriageway isn't going to do anyone any favours and the writing has been on the wall for the last few videos to be honest lol
Such a big police turnout but people were flying by a bit crazy for such a large crowd but I'm not sure I've seen it this busy in a while
yeah, I fear someone will crash one of these days. that's a cool spot to hang out, but I wouldn't want to be between a car and a guardrail as someone loses control speeding by.
So is that car meet closed now or will there be more there in the future? Another great video Adam.
Great vlog Adam 🏎🏎🏎
That was absolute chaos!!!
Nob heads get chucked out of Reading. Absolutely magic.
i don’t have a family of starving children, however i do have a pack of chocolate hobnobs 😂
Meanwhile our Enfield meets get shut down and they're absolutely nothing like this
Chav-central
If someone had told the cops it was a LBTQ+ Parade or BLM protest they would have instantly left you alone
Uks finest chav meet
And here (BROOOM) is our sponser (VROOM BANG! BANG) for today
There waving there willy's around now but I don't want to film that! What is wrong with them!?!?
"I think theres a burnout." They guy doing the burnout: you THINK!!!
never seen speed bumps on a roundabout before
When are where is this meet held? I'd love to go? How often?
Great Video👍
That Focus RS is the same one for sale at my local Ford Dealership in Abingdon
I thought u got the entire bike crash in there but at least u got the after math 😂😂 and bikes fine now
ANOTHER DAY IN FUCKING PARADISE OF THE FUCKING CAR FREAKS FOR 2022THIS YEAR.
bit much for public roads
The central reservation is two crash barriers and a fence the fact they’re called crash barriers should give everyone a good reason not to go stand there like a bunch of skittles waiting to be knocked down that’s why the police shut the road down it really isn’t that hard to work out
Yes Adam I met you at ciros meet and I took a photo with you
gotta get the work put in asap and get my scooby back on the road. Need to come to one of these meets in Reading soon
imagine seeing dmo's jazz turn up & do a fly by🤔 & weres the yellow cammed 106 gti @ did a nice fly by last meets! maybe next time lol 🤞
Well you gonna have to be honest, last couple off vids at this location had loads off people here , apart from a few small fender benders , it was waiting for a big accident to happen sooner or later.
its not a proper meet if the cops don't show up
Best start having rolling meets convoy from town to town break off into smaller groups for stops before they shut down meets completly like they have in other places where meets turn a bit excessive 🤷 that way content can still be got when the convoys pass by and since it's rolling less likely to attract big crowds that get a bit lairy
Did people not learn from what happened in Stevenage? It’s only a matter of time until more accidents happen if people keep being so reckless, and standing at the central reservation
A few too many 0-30s I think at this one. Some burnouts and things are cool but going 0-30 as a group in a race is a bit no for a public road.
Great vid though
Lots of blue neons 😂😂
Accelerating like that where there is a massive group of pedestrians in the road is the biggest no. Driving through the group 2 wide is idiotic at anything close to even half the speed limit here (which another comment suggests is 40mph), regular passer-by traffic included (when they're posing a risk to other road users, the pedestrians). There are obviously some complete idiots in the crowd, I wouldn't want to be less than half a lane away from them mucking around without any concern for themselves or anyone else, that's at a fraction of the posted limit too.
The police haven't helped the actual safety issues much at all here. In previous videos they've seemed to let 'regular traffic' that has clearly passed the group of pedestrians too close, inches away from them at times at a significant percentage of the speed limit, far too fast for those conditions, go and seemed to specifically target cars that accelerate on their own down the empty side where they're not posing a risk to anyone with a speed trap at the roundabout where no pedestrians ever stood, well, until they set up a speed trap, then a load of pedestrians took an interest.
Very good
2:02 a strike waiting to happen.
Meanwhile the government wants the car gone. And not one percent of petrolhead channels say a thing. This is the rope to hang us .
Yup.
Yay! A Saab!
Ok who else came watch because they saw the word nudity in the title 🤔
look at me and matt in the robin lmao
Take a car, stick a fart can on it, ridiculous spoiler, wide wheels, furry dice & then put a bellend behind the wheel & bingo you’ve got yourself a ‘modified’ shitemobile.
Why are these drivers and spectators so stupid, these people won't stop until some innocent motorist gets tangled up in their lunacy.
Are these what British people call "chavs"?
You need to get back to classic car content and videos like 3 classics tour Isle Wight type videos
I never stopped doing classic car content. I'm uploading classics regularly, but they get no views. It's very depressing as views are down by half in general, so there is zero motivation to film classics.
That's a big shame I figured as much, I guess your audience is modified and German cars which baffles me because you can see them any time you simply open your front door, hope your views increase on another note I'm also a youngun with a mgb gt
Could someone tell me the date of the next meet
a very different approach by the Police to the way they handled the Albanian driving in central London.
Where exactly is this please?
i was squeaky :)
Drone footage golloeing the cars would be awesome when it's this busy
Don’t know why they blocked the road like why not just pull in to the car park and tell us to move on
Hi Adam. Where'd you get your neons from?
eBay
These modern 4 pots sound awful
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣looks like great fun 😄
That burnout was sick with the green bmw
Who remembers old ponti cruise they was the days
Hard man saying foff wt a mk6 fiesta 😂😂😂what a gay
Only a Zetec TDCI too lol
From the back seat. Poverty.
How'd you know he doesn't have a Lambo at home he doesn't use for shopping?
@@4Kandlez Attitude. Only poors act like that; I should know I used to be one until I started making money.
The problem is if people take it too far like this too often they will introduce a car cruising ban like they have in the Black country, So don’t ruin it for yourselves.
You missed the Saab.
I missed lots
@@AdamC3046 but, the Saab. 🥺
Saab you say ?. What model was it ?. I have 2 9000 Aero's.
@@dj_paultuk7052 saw a silver 93 estate, and a blue 93 anniversary edition
I always smile when i watch your videos
Well keep this behaviour up and it will mark the death of modified cars. Think I am joking? Look what they have done in California...
I watched this expecting to see Adam C driving dangerously in the nude before being nicked by the 👮♂️ 😳
Not like he can control everyone no his fault go complain else where least he still shares great vids love the content keep it up please if get stuff done too mgb video the transformation happening
You know we aren't complaining against Adam right? There's always someone like you that doesn't get it. Adam isn't the problem here, the problem was the idiots sending it at large crowds. What do you expect the Police to do? Nothing to do with Adam and his content 🤦♂
9:17 was that a 5 cylinder Mazda?
No, the MPS just has a very rumbly sound, sounds almost like a Subaru at high RPM
German cars make Focus STs look rare.
I generally find it's either people in Audis and Bimmers or those driving total s*it boxes which go drifting around gravel car parks or drive like Stevie Wonder on crack.
read the title. This is gonna be a good one
This is why you can't be surprised when you get pulled in a nice car and your insurance hates you even when you're clean.
Did they just moon the police?
J27 M1 used to be good then they put a proabition order on the area .
Junction 27 used to be poppingggg back in the day, the lil circuit from island to island my brothers Cavalier 4x4 used to do everyone round the islands!
🚨
UK car scene can get in the bin.
Nice RAC 😏👌😂🤣
This is my dad's favourite type of Adamc video. The police make everything so chaotic and funny during these meets.
Things i hate about the car scene
Pop and bang maps that every ecoboost fiesta and 2.0tfsi engines vw group cars have. Old cars sound fine with it as it isnt fake on those.
Dsg farts
I just find car meets these days all the same tbh with the same lowered cars. Hopefully when my kadett is done and running a tasty dellorto 40 carb and 305 profile cam along with other bits that will give people something different to look at.
